It forced me to reach out to developers, to engineers dozens of local builders and most important like minded individuals.

I'm excited to join this group of like-minded individuals passionate about real estate investing. 

They can't assess all the subjective data like overall layout, view from the living room window, the dogs next door that bark all day, the width of doorways, size of individual rooms, quality of kitchen cabinets and appliances, etc.The best thing to do is study your market regularly.

>  Some LP want cash>  Some want alternative real estate>  Some want individual properties currently within the partnership. 

It wasn’t clear in advance what the next steps were, or who was responsible for doing what.

We can also lend to both individuals and LLCs.I'd be happy to share my experience as both an investor and as a lender.

We have done it both ways where we fund purchase and they cover rehab but if the individual is less experienced we do not do it that way, we have them put more money into the deal from the start and fund the draws, reason why is we also had a deal where the person said they would do this and never did anything and property sat and loan matured and it was a pain.Just recognize you will still not get 100% financing for the purchase, so you are putting money in up front. 

I feel it's extremely important that I link with like-minded individuals.

Property owners remain responsible for operations and maintenance, only because they retain full ownership.

I'm seeking to be in an environment with like minded individuals to learn and network to grow my portfolio and eventually network to collaborate on larger deals once I have a better understanding of the commercial side.
